A craft blog about paper craft, sewing, knitting and baking. I've always loved making things but started card making in 2012 after I found I could make my own wedding invites how I wanted them and for a fraction of the cost, plus it was fun to do!
I love stamps, digistamps, die-cutting, colouring in and just getting lost in my own world while I craft. In 2013 I became a Spectrum Noir Accredited Colorist.
I hope you enjoy my reviews and blog posts.

Quick cards using my Crafty What Not's Box

First I used the flower stamp with the chalk inks on the smallest card blanks in the box. The image stamped really clearly and I added a button to the middle of the card for a simple little note cards.

Next I got another small card blank and inked up the stamp but masked over the flower head so I just got the stem and leaves.

Next I cut a 1 inch circle out of card.

I then used a selection of Candi (some of which was from my own stash as well) and pinched each one to make a petal shape.

I then glued these round the outside of the circle with tacky glue.

Once this was done I did another layer.

Then finally added a centre Candi with a foam square and added the whole thing to the top of my stem.

To finish I added a sentiment and some twine from the packaging.

My final card I made with the larger card blank (12.5cm) and started by stamping the flower around the outside of the card. I then got one of the iridescent sheets of floral paper and cut a square 10cm x 10cm. Rather than use the pattern side I used the reverse and stamped the flower directly into this. I then stuck this onto the card and finished with three pieces of Candi.

I hope you like my cards and how I've used the different bits from the kit. For more about the Crafty What Not's box check my previous post.
